Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions does this forum need a disclaimer?

I noticed that one too,TG. It appeared about the same time as the nude photos and the escort service did yesterday morning. One look at the personal profile gives it away.

Hi, Joel!
Higher volume on a forum brings more opportunity for spammers and possible viruses...
I don't like either, and if I think there may be something a bit strange in a post - like very vague questions - I will make a post to bring it to the moderators attention so they can check it out.
Mind you, I suppose some of my own questions have been rather vague... :rolleyes:

Do you recommend that I remove Helen's post?

Ken Hume responded to her, as well as another person.

It is difficult for me to see a spammish nature in this post; it could be phishing, or just English as a second language.

Please advise.

The Paris Hilton videos are easier to classify.

Maybe you should delete it....Check out her profile.
I know many of us are interested in sex, but it may not be the right forum to state that interest, if you know what I mean..

Hi Guys,

I seemed to miss out on the video, glamour pictures and phishing - whatever that is ?

As I said, some posts are bound to be a bit cranky but it takes all kinds. Hopefully we not out to do anything wrong to others and who knows even those interested in s*x just might get to be interested in timber framing as well.

That reminds me - time to get that boring machine oiled up !

Regards

Ken Hume

You've got a point...HAHA!!

I think she likes Joel, Helen's back again, Only in the directors forum this time. Three days in a row, same post, but no reply to Ken?

QUOTE]I thought they were the same thing. Can I borrow that boring machine for five minutes? [/QB][/QUOTE]

Helen might need to borrow it, too, after you are done with it

Seems like she should be blocked and the postings should be removed. Even though she has not said or posted anything questionable it seems like this forum has been targeted with spam. Who knows what will come next? Can postings not be filtered in any way? I do not know enough about web pages and how computers work but there must be a way.

In light of recent post about Paris Hylton perhaps the disclaimer should read "Caution posts may contain nudity and adult content".... If this continues the hit count on the TFG website will be up there with Google. I'm not this has anything to do with timberframing unless it is how to move timbers with a horse?

So all the regulars have bookmarked 'General Forum Questions' (in order to bypass a wordy disclaimer) and don't visit the other categories; there is a little discrimination of topic content, all lumped into the one forum ...

Could someone move my starters into General, where they are more likely to get response?

Thanks, Lee
